KOTTAYAM: Recent report claims that the woman, who was sexually abused by an ambulance driver in Aranmula, has attempted suicide. It is learnt that the woman tried to hang herself at the isolation ward of the Kottayam Medical College Hospital on Thursday afternoon.

It was a nurse who first saw the woman hanging from a fan. The woman's mother was not present in the hospital during this time. Earlier, reports suggested that the woman was under severe mental stress ever since she was sexually abused by the ambulance driver.

On September 5, the woman, a COVID patient, was sexually abused by the ambulance driver at an isolated place while they were on their way to the treatment centre. Noufal, the ambulance driver, was later taken into custody.
